Orberson first made his bones about 20 years ago in Excel Communications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excel_Communications), which was basically multilevel marketing with long-distance service. Sounds like Orberson decided to start his own thing and ran afoul of the authorities.

I thought this was a thread on Social Security

I thought it was on the F16 fighter jets and Abrams tanks we are sending to that nutcase Morsi to use against our allies.

I have had several people try to talk me into "investing" in Fortune Hi-Tech, I declined because I said it was clearly a pyramid scheme. Provision is another pyramid scheme that is designed to rip off investors trying to make a few bucks on the side.

Whatever happened to Brandon Knight's mother who worked for Orberson and continued to last year (the year after Brandon left)?

There is a story.

Pyramid schemes, amway, etc is an old con. It is also a scam that has impacted college athletics long before Billy Gillispie got hosed.

In the early 1990s Don Lane really pushed a pyramid scheme to high school coaches and even resident assistants working his summer basketball camp.

Similar cons grabbed other college coaches in Kentucky including Denny Crum and a former CJ writer who was the beat report that followed the Cards during those days.
